Hollywood knew exactly who they were gonna call. And Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd look like they're stepping back into their Ghostbusting gear alongside costars Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson for a third Ghostbusters movie.

This is either going to completely own or completely be the worst sequel ever. No in between.

*crosses fingers: please, rule, please*

[momsshizzle]

Don't cross the streams!!

[ShitBreak]

They've been saying they were gonna make a 3rd movie for almost 20 years now. I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm just wanting the video game to come out. Been looking forward to that thing for months now.

[kid_vidrio]

Harold Ramis is barely recognizable.
He might have to try Fatbusting before he does any Ghostbusting.
Not that Bill and Dan haven't changed a bit too.
I'm afraid it will suck, be over-acted and depend too heavily on Fx.
Crossing fingers just the same.

[kareyn01]

Aykroyd said he's going to try and get Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen on board to help with the writing, so we'll see how that goes.

No...no he didn't. That was a rumor.

[bixby]

Uh, yes. Yes he did.

[Mr. Brown]

man that's such fail they should just throw everything into the game and allow it to be the third "movie"

[bixby]

The game's been postponed indefinitely, though. They're still looking for a publisher.

[Mr. Brown]

that's what I mean focus on that and find a dam publisher

[ShitBreak]

Uh, yes. Yes he did.

http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1579860695/bctid1772099378

He's basically just saying what he'd heard...aka rumor. I mean, I could say right now I was writing a script for Ghostbusters 3. Doesn't mean shit.

The two guys from the Office have actually been hired. If Rogen and Apatow were writing something (it wouldn't surprise me if they were), it was before this deal was made between the two Office scribes, and Columbia.

[bixby]

I'm really surprised Bill Murray's up for it. He's the one that's been holding the whole movie up for all these years--I mean, him and Ghostbusters 2's reception.

[Le Goat]

I swear to fucking christ if this is the real reason they postponed the game I'm going to kill someone.

hope the ambulance is a duece and a half to lug this crew around

They postponed the game because their original publisher went tits-up.

[Le Goat]

They postponed the game because their original publisher went tits-up.

Did you miss the part where I said 'real reason'? Secondly, it wasn't because their shit went tits up, it's 'cause of the merger.

[wonderwall]

slimer?

[vasili denisov]

Nobody's been signed for this.
No deals will be made with the original cast until the script is ready, but the gross percentage will certainly be an issue. Sony has a standing policy not to allow more than 25% of first dollar gross out the door.http://www.variety.com/VR1117991624.html

[Morfin]

Whew. Ernie Hudson is in. He brings so much to the table, it wouldn't be the same without him. [/sarcasm]

[Draven X 23]

You need the Black Guy!

I hope this comes through. I would hate to see them remake it instead.

[vasili denisov]

Whew. Ernie Hudson is in. He brings so much to the table, it wouldn't be the same without him. [/sarcasm]
Of the whole cast, Hudon's given me the most pleasure as an actor. As an actor...and as a man.

[Genius]

If it's anything like 2, I'll pass.

[bixby]

HE IS VIGGO! YOU ARE LIKE FLIES TO HIM!

[Duncndisorderly]

This already stinks of fail

NBC’s OFFICE Writers Are Scripting GHOSTBUSTERS III

Sony has hired Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, Emmy-nominated writer-producers on the Steve Carell version of "The Office," to script a "Ghostbusters" sequel that would reunite Venkman, Stanz, Spengler and Zeddemore.
Harold Ramis, who co-wrote the earlier "Ghostbusters" movies and portrayed mold fetishist Egon Spengler in those comedies, is in post-production on next summer's Jack Black period comedy "Year One," which was directed by Ramis from a screenplay by Ramis, Eisenberg and Stupnitsky.
Ramis directed three season-three episodes of "The Office," namely "A Benihana Christmas," "Safety Training" and "Beach Games."
"Office" episodes scripted by Eisenberg and Stupnitsky include "The Fight," "The Secret," "The Convention," "Women's Appreciation," "Dinner Party" and "Job Fair."

[BIG PIZZLE]

They wanted to do a 3 right after 2, but everyone wanted too much money. Now they're all hurting.

[noahsdove]

I thought they already made a 3rd ghostbusters movie?

[fuzzystuff]

I thought Bill Murray was not going to do this, he said something about a 3rd movie but only a animation movie??

[steverino]

Crossing fingers and toes. Sequels of old classics have not been good. Also, Ghostbusters 2 really sucked.

[AlanSmithee]

This going to be animation or with real people?

[steverino]

Real people

[nuclearjew]

Not real people. Actors!

Harold Ramis confirms 'Ghostbusters III'

http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_popmachine/images/2008/09/05/ramis.jpg (http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/09/05/ramis.jpg) I just received this e-mail from Harold Ramis confirming the forward progress on a third "Ghostbusters" movie (as mentioned earlier here (http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_popmachine/2008/09/ghostbusters-ii.html)), with Judd Apatow, some of his regular actors and perhaps Bill Murray involved:http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_popmachine/images/2008/09/05/ramisb.jpg (http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/09/05/ramisb.jpg)
"yes, columbia is developing a script for GB3 with my year one writing partners, gene stupnitsky and lee eisenberg. judd apatow is co-producing year one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1045778/) and has made several other films for sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. aykroyd, ivan reitman and i are consulting at this point, and according to dan, bill murray is willing to be involved on some level. he did record his dialogue for the new ghostbusters video game, as did danny and i, and ernie hudson. the concept is that the old ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity. not much else to say at this point. everyone is confident a decent script can be written and i guess we'll take it from there.
best,
harold
OK, so we're picturing Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson showing the ghost-busting ropes to Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, James Franco and Michael Cera. (Ramis already memorably and warmly played Rogen's dad in "Knocked Up.") Maybe Jason Segel or Craig Robinson (http:///)fit in there somewhere.
Is this a "Ghostbusters" you'd want to call?

[Philip Lombard]

yes please

i could do without cera "same character in everything" though

[Jack Bauer]

cera is a legend in arrested development but yeah i see where your coming from

[Philip Lombard]

i love AD and superbad, but nick and norah's shitfest looks like an especially heinous display

that "b-day" line in every fucking trailer makes me want to punch him

[thestronz]

How about Robert Downey Jr. in some capacity? I could see him in a Venkman-like role.

If we stick with the whole Apatow crew, it could look something like this..

Venkman > Jason Segel/Paul Rudd
Egon > Bill Hader
Ray > Seth Rogen
Winston > Craig Robinson

Then throw in McLovin for Louis and say...I dunno...Zooey Deschanel as the leading lady (assuming she agrees to show her tits in some capacity)

[teamusa]

hell yes!! throw in vince vaughn and i think you got a better ray

[PWalk]

I just don't want them to fuck it up. The originals are classics that still hold up well today. Apatow and company don't scare me but I think this will be the first time they take on a property not wholly their own.

[bixby]

http://i29.tinypic.com/2u8gdg3.gif

Honestly, though, I'd love for this to happen, so long as it's treated with respect. And I agree with stronz, get RDJ in on this project as soon as possible.

[thestronz]

hell yes!! throw in vince vaughn and i think you got a better ray

That sounds good to me, but I did change my mind about one thing...Anne Hathaway's tits may be better suited to this

[ADD]

Rick Moranis and Annie Potts must be back!

[Jericho]

I'm sure they could really use the gig

[Alcestis]

*merging*

[Bizz]

Rick Moranis and Annie Potts must be back!

I heard the only person who won't sign on is Rick Moranis. Something about he has enough money and won't work anymore.

[Face]

*merging*
I am in complete awe of you

[Alcestis]

I am in complete awe of you

I am in complete awe of how fat you are.

<3

[Jericho]

That wasn't very nice

[Face]

I am in complete awe of how fat you are.

<3
:mad:

[Alcestis]

That wasn't very nice

Now I have to be nice? yeesh....

[Jericho]

No you don't. Word on the street is that I'm the "too nice" one

[Alcestis]

;)

[Face]

you're both assholes, happy now?

[nirvanasaves]

I'm surprised Bill Murray would come back for this. He seems to be the only one of the original cast still with a career

[MDiver01]

Rick Moranis and Annie Potts must be back!
Moranis wont because he wouldnt even do the game voice over.

[AlanSmithee]

Its got something to do with his dead wife.....She has been dead for 17 years quit living in the past Rick and think of the Ghostbusters

[Duncndisorderly]

The only possible chance this movie has of working is if they cast Vin Diesel instead of Rick Moranis and have him poop fuck Annie Potts in the opening credits then they cut to a scene of the old fat ghostbusters all watching on a cctv camera and jacking off, all except Harold Ramis who is eating a burger instead

[MDiver01]

I smell Best Picture nominee!

These are all excelle- waaaaaaaaaaaaait a minute. Is this George Lucas?

[Night Hawk]

Hey.. Credit to Rocky Balboa.. it wasn't bad..

[JohnQRotten]

I heard Bill Murray will only be appearing in a cameo as the ghost of Venkman. Seriously.

[nirvanasaves]

Yeah I heard that too.

[kulashaker]

we will all see it..we may not tell any one we saw it but we will all go!

[arod2105]

Thats probably true. Big fan of the series, we shall see how it comes out.

[deadohiosky]

That rumor is much older then the current script. I heard that at least 5 6 years ago, way before the office guys signed on.
